Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (95 grams) shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 3/4 cups (330 grams) all-purpose, unbleached flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tarter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place your butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to melt and cook, whisking frequently. The butter will foam and crackle, and eventually turn a golden brown color. Once it turns brown, remove it from the heat immediately.
  2. Transfer the brown butter to a glass bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to solidify, about 45 minutes.
  3. Once the butter has solidified, mix it with 1 1/2 cups sugar, shortening and eggs. 
  4. Mix in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
  5. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  6. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon and place on a plate. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, until the tops are set. Transfer the cookies from the cookie sheet to a baking rack. Enjoy!
